Yes, it´s a normal temperature. My overclocked X800XL also reaches 70°C. Either the card is somehow broken or it´s a strange kind of system problem.

Try what HanSolo said. If that doesn´t help download the Omegadriver (http://www.omegadrivers.net). With it comes the fantastic "ATI Tray Tools", it has some features that could either solve the problem or at least work around it.

Right-click the ATT icon in the toolbar, go to Hardware/Overclocking Settings. In the lower part you see the GPU temperature. Click "Show 3D Renderer" and check if the card has the same problems when it reaches 70°C. If that´s the case you can do two things. Either underclock the card so that it never reaches 70°C or use the Fan control (click the Fan tab) to raise the Fan speed. The best is to use a combination of underclocking and a high GPU fan speed.

The first thing you should do is to lower the memory speed by 50%, then run the 3D test again. If it works at 70°C you know that the memory most likely is the problem. If it doesn´t work set the default memory speed and lower the core speed by 50%. Then try the test again. Use 80-90% fan speed for every test. Try again and again until you find a setting that works.

BTW, is your PSU powerful enough (400-450w)? Does this problem also appear in other games?

Thanks a lot for help Gizzmoe....

My Power Supply is Thermaltake Silent Power of "true" 480watts, it is souposed this power correspond to a constant 0.7 of the voltage wave, not the peak, on peak it can supply more power.

About Omega Drivers, each time i attempt to use them, my computer crashes or game crashes, doesnt works for me......

Same with ADN drivers, may be they need to have Microsoft Frame Works installed ?

I understand....... those setting and control you mentioned are into Omega drivers ?

About other games, my kind burns the computer with Unreal Gold, Unreal Tournament, y play IL2 saga, FB, AEP, PF and the problem is not present at any moment even in hot days or after play long missions at full setings.
